NASHVILLE, June 2O.-The grand

were discharged for the term. The
document is a serious one, in that it
reveals a state OF immortality at the
county asylum and charges that the
magistrates have abused their privil-
eyes of hospitality their to an extent
which borders on the illegal. The
grand jury plainly states that the asy-
Ium has degenerated into refuge far

HISTORICAL FACTS.
Lawrence Journal.

Lawrence journal.
In 1903 President Jefferson bought
from Napoleon the province of Louisiana,
including nearly all Kansas, for a little
more than $23, 4O0,00
In 1904 Kansas became part of Louis
lana, and the laws of the district we're
made by William Acknowledgement
president acting with the judge of that
territory.
In 1905 congress changed the district of
Louisiana, embracing Kansas and Missouri
In 1919 the state of Louisiana was formed
and the remainder of the territory was
changed to the territory of Missouri. In
1918 by treaty with Spain, the western
boundary of the louisiana pur-
chase was adjusted In the
same year the first steamboat
assembled the Missouri river. In 1920 con
gress passed an act enabling the people of
Missouri territory to become a state, and
prohibited slavery in all the louisiana pur
chase north of thirty-six degrees, thirty
seconds north latitude. The next year
Missouri entered the union as slave state
st Louis then had population of less than
5000
In 1928 the first wagon train passed
through Kansas to New Mexico, which was
the beginning of the commerce of the plains.
In ADDITION to the native Indian population,
Indians from other states were given re-
servatiOns In Kansas. Until 1854 the only
white settlers in Kansas were those con
nected with Indian missions and traders, or
whites who had married Indians and adopt
ed their mode of life.
The Santa Fe TRAIL a wagon road to New
Mexico from Missouri, was established In
1926 Kansas was organized as territory
in 1854 The law of 1920 declaring her
free was repealed, and the new law opened
1t to freedom or slavery, as the settlers
might choose. The north and south entered
into contest to people the territory, and
the contest led to civil war, called the
border troubles, and cost 200 lives and
$50, 900, 600 in money
In 1861 Kansas was admitted into the
Union as free state The war was waged
with undated fury till the close of the re-
bellion in 1865, and nearly every inhabi-
tant was in the army. 1t is during the
past fifteen years that immigration has been
drawn to this stale, and during that period
she has grown more rapidly than any other
state In the Union.

PLUMB FOR PRESIDENT.

The following very handsome compli

sition:
The history of American politics shows
that long continued aspiration and struggle
for the presidency rarely meets with sue
cess. The people seem instinctively I'm
willing to crafty chronic presidential am
bition. Intensity of personal desire is not
the best assurance of fitness. Availabili-
ty In candidate is prime necessity and
availability Is weakened by constant self

lowly origin, and has grown from the

of Kansas first pioneers, and served his
country for three years as an officer, and
last as the commander of the memorable
old Eleventh Kansas Volunteer Cavalry,
and participated in all the bat

Republican party could not do better than
to nominate the Hon. P. B. Plumb for
